Electricity and Magnetism
UNIT 4
What is electricity?
The collection or flow of
electrons in the form of
an electric charge
What is static electricity?
When two objects rub against each other electrons
transfer and build up on an object causing it to have a
different charge from its surroundings.
Like the shoes rubbing against the carpet. Electrons are
transferred from the carpet to the shoes.
As electrons collect on an object, it becomes negatively
charged. As electrons leave an object it attains a positive
charges. Charges interact with each other:
Often when you remove clothes
from the clothes dryer, they seem
to stick together. This is because
some of the clothes have gained
electrons by rubbing against
other clothes. The clothes losing
electrons become positive. The
negative clothes are attracted to
the positive clothes.
Have you ever rubbed a balloon on your hair and
stuck it on a wall? How do you think this works?
What causes you to be shocked when you rub your feet
across carpet?
An electrical discharge is the passing of an electric
current through the air from a negatively charged object
to a positively charge object. This is what causes
lightning!

What is a conductor and insulator?
A conductor is a material which allows an electric current
to pass. Metals are good conductors of electricity.
An insulator is a material which does not allow an
electric current to pass. Nonmetals are not good
conductors of electricity. Plastic, glass, wood, and rubber
are good insulators
What is the difference between static
electricity and current electricity?
Static electricity is stationary or collects on the surface of
an object, whereas current electricity is flowing very
rapidly through a conductor.
The flow of electricity in current electricity has electrical
pressure or voltage. Electric charges flow from an area
of high voltage to an area of low voltage.
Water pressure
and voltage
behave in
similar ways.
The pressure of the water flowing through the
pipes on the last slide compare to the voltage
(electric potential) flowing through the wires of the
circuit. The unit used to measure voltage is volts
(V).
The flow of charges in a circuit is called current.
Current (I) is measured in Amperes (A).
What is electrical resistance?
Resistance (R)is the opposition to the flow of
an electric current, causing the electrical energy
to be converted to thermal energy or light.
The metal which makes up a light bulb
filament or stovetop eye has a high
electrical resistance. This causes light
and heat to be given off.
The unit for measuring resistance is the
ohm (Ω).
What are electric circuits?
Circuits typically contain a voltage source, a wire
conductor, and one or more devices which use the
electrical energy.
What is a series circuit?
A series circuit is one which provides a single pathway
for the current to flow. If the circuit breaks, all devices
using the circuit will fail.
What is a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit has multiple pathways for the current to
flow. If the circuit is broken the current may pass through
other pathways and other devices will continue to work.
What is the difference between an open circuit and a
closed circuit?
A closed circuit is one in which the pathway of the electrical
current is complete and unbroken.
An open circuit is one in which the pathway of the electrical
current is broken. A switch is a device in the circuit in which the
circuit can be closed (turned on) or open (turned off).
Direct current versus alternating current –
AC vs DC : What’s the difference?
Direct current is electrical current which comes from a battery which
supplies a constant flow of electricity in one direction.
Alternating current is electrical current which comes from a generator.
As the electromagnet is rotated in the permanent magnet the direction of
the current alternates once for every revolution.
Go to this website and click the button for DC then for AC to visually see
the difference between the two.
You can see that the DC source is a battery – current flows in one
direction. The AC source is the generator and the current alternates once
for each revolution.
What is magnetism?
Magnetism is the properties and interactions of magnets
The earliest magnets were found naturally in the mineral
magnetite which is abundant the rock-type lodestone. These
magnets were used by the ancient peoples as compasses to
guide sailing vessels.
Magnets produce magnetic forces and have magnetic field lines
Magnets have two ends or poles, called north and
south poles. At the poles of a magnet, the magnetic field
lines are closer together.
Unlike poles of magnets attract
each other and like poles of
magnets repel.
The earth is like a giant magnet!
The nickel iron core of the earth gives the earth a
magnetic field much like a bar magnet.
What are magnetic domains?
Magnetic substances like iron, cobalt, and nickel are
composed of small areas where the groups of atoms are
aligned like the poles of a magnet. These regions are
called domains. All of the domains of a magnetic
substance tend to align themselves in the same direction
when placed in a magnetic field. These domains are
typically composed of billions of atoms.
Electricity and Magnetism – how
are they related?
When an electric current passes through a wire a
magnetic field is formed.
What is an electromagnet?
When an electric current is passed through a coil of wire
wrapped around a metal core, a very strong magnetic
field is produced. This is called an electromagnet.
How does an electric motor work?
Go to the next slide 
Simple as that!!
We have seen how electricity can produce a magnetic
field, but a magnetic field can also produce electricity!
How?
What is electromagnetic induction?
Moving a loop of wire through a magnetic field produces
an electric current. This is electromagnetic induction.
A generator is used to convert
mechanical energy into electrical energy by
electromagnetic induction.

What does this process create?
When two objects rub against each other
electrons transfer and build up on an object
causing it to have a different charge from its
surroundings.

Draw an example of electricity and electric
circuits in your life.
Stand up and make a big circle around the
Classroom
Students I represent a battery and you all represent a wire conductor.
The circle represents a circuit.
Students these objects represent electrons inside a wire conductor.
A wire conductor is full of electrons.
All batteries have a positive end, represented by your left hand, and a negative
end, represented by your right hand. Pass your "electron" to the student on your
right. The student receiving your electron should in turn pass the one he or she
is holding to the right.
The flow of these electrons is called an electrical current.
Who am I????
In this game you will be handed a either a word or a definition it is your job to find and match
with the appropriate word or definition. You have 5 minutes to do so.
Answers for Who am I?
Direct current- is electrical current which comes from a battery which supplies a constant flow of electricity in one
direction.

Use thinking notes to annotate the article answer all questions completely.
What do a wrecking yard, a rock concert and your front door have in
common? They each use electromagnets, devices that create a magnetic
field through the application of electricity. Wrecking yards employ extremely
powerful electromagnets to move heavy pieces of scrap metal or even entire
cars from one place to another. Your favorite band uses electromagnets to
amplify the sound coming out of its speakers. And when someone rings your
doorbell, a tiny electromagnet pulls a metal clapper against a bell.
